Fat and women. Again.
Got asked in the pub if I had any rules regarding women.

I'd been mildly annoyed by the people I was with and wasn't moderating myself as per usual.

'Yeah' I said, 'No size 14s. Scratch that no short size 12s.'

Girl who I took to be a 10 at most, angrily replied 'I'm a 14'.

I stopped and had a think about that. The only thing I could muster was 'Well your doing very well then'.

Thankfully I got saved by my girlfriend at this point.

Length? 34 inches around is the common belief.

Useful catchall for this situation:
Say that different brands of women's clothing use different measurements for their sizes, which is apparently true. Thus a size 12 at Brand X could be a size 14 at Brand Y.

It is.
Bloody pain in the arse. I'm a size 6 (eh?!) in some shops and 10 in others. No sense to it.

Best delivered as an expression of disbelief, without breaking character or appearing to pause to think
"fuck off are you - you're a 10 at most"

This will either work immediately, or if she's insistent on getting offended, you continue with "well either you or my ex are shopping in the wrong places then love, cos she was a 12 and you're slimmer than her"

It is vital that you then continue the discussion with other friends, as if the disagreement is already over. Don't be drawn into validating her any more than you already have.

God Shambles, read the post, he said he had a GIRLFRIEND.
Why would he lie on QoTW about something like that?

You're right.
And I say that only because you're a girl.
